 zenith, covered with very briglit prismatic aurora, 

 striated and in rapid motion (1 to 3), brightest from 

 N.N.W. to zenith.

Arch (1) from N.W. to E.N.E., 6° alt. 



Faint strealv ( • 3) in E.S.E., 45° alt. 



A few bright prismatic streamers in zenith (2) visible 

 between clouds. Bright streak in E.S.E., 50° alt. (1). 

 (Declinometer slightly disturbed.) 



Faint streak in zenith (• 5) - . . - 



Arch from E.S.E. to N.N.W., 25° alt., of a greenish

 Arch (-5) from S.E. to N.W., about 30° alt. - 



Arch (2) from S.E. to E.N.E., 5° alt., and just above 

 this arch are masses of light, curtain-shaped, and almost 

 green in colour ; from this a faint band through Procyou 

 and Aldebaran to W.N.W. 



Band disappeared. Above aurora has extended to 

 Aldebaran, about 30° wide, and appears like cumulus 

 clouds (1). (Vertical force disturbed.)

 arches moving S. till, the higher one reached tlie zenith, 

 where it seemed to disappear ; the lower one diffused 

 and fainter.
